About the Arranger: Ed Lojeski
Ed Lojeski is a master arranger whose work spans Broadway, film, and choral music. His arrangements have become standards in the repertoire, prized for their sophistication, singability, and ability to elevate contemporary material into concert-worthy pieces.
Why we love this
Lojeski captures the cinematic warmth of Eldridge's original while giving your singers real musicality to sink their teeth into. The big band energy and classic Sinatra sensibility create a polished sound that works equally well in concert or holiday programming, and your students will connect to the contemporary source material.
What to expect
Warm and urbane, with the glow of a holiday party in a mid-century jazz lounge. The arrangement wraps you in orchestral comfort while maintaining the contemporary appeal of Eldridge's original recording.
Who it's for
Pop, show, and jazz choirs looking for modern holiday material with genuine sophistication. Directors seeking a crowd-pleasing opener or closer that doesn't sacrifice musical substance.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal line against the band so the melody stays prominent even when the orchestration swells; the Sinatra influence depends on clear phrasing.
- Lean into the rhythmic precision of the rhythm section to lock the groove; this style demands tightness rather than legit choir balance.
- Let the soloists breathe in the big band tradition, allowing slight rubato within the ensemble swing feel for authenticity.
How to use it
Open your winter concert with this to set an elegant, festive tone, or tuck it into the final set for a sophisticated closer that sends audiences home happy. It bridges the gap between traditional holiday repertoire and what your singers hear on contemporary playlists.
Skills your students will build
- Singing over a full band arrangement while maintaining blend
- Interpreting Sinatra-influenced phrasing and swing style
- Coordinating with rhythm section (piano, bass, drums) for rhythmic cohesion
- Balancing vocal parts within a jazz voicing context
